Therefore, when a revival of classical styles became popular, new edifices in the classical style were built alongside or added to buildings of older styles. The concept of the dome first emerged during the Renaissance in the form of an architectural marvel that tops the Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral of Florence. The construction of the dome marks the beginning of Renaissance architecture; the cathedral and its dome together represent early Renaissance style--one that blends old and new designs.This exquisite Architecture Print shows a remarkable drawing of Tuscan Renaissance Architecture. This is a rare 1874 reprint from the publication of 1815. This print is over 130 years old.PUBLISHER- DUCHER & CieEDITORS - GRANDJEAN DE MONTIGNY, A. AND A.
